Yes, The Clone Wars will probably move to Disney XD, but does that really matter?

Actually it does matter to a degree as it means a smaller viewing audience. Disney XD is only offered on a higher tier premium cable packages. Cartoon Network on the other hand is offered on most basic cable packages.

And tons of senseless figure reissues. If they deal Hasbro the same ultimatums that they dealt Bandai with for Power Rangers you are going to see a lot of Disney Store exclusives that are nothing more than repaint and/or just package variants of the stuff you'd find at Toys R Us, Walmart, etc.

I just read that an unidentified source has stated that Darth Vader will be the villain in the new trilogy? Any truth to that? Any reason to believe if true that this would be ridiculous?

Nowhere in your incoherent ramblings did you come anywhere close to the answer. Thanks to you, everyone in this room is now stupider having heard you. I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul. -Billy Madison-

I doubt there's any way to know who will be the villain at this point, but if this is a genuine leak - and there's no reason to believe it is, but for the sake of argument - then perhaps it's a design for a flashback scene or one of the character movies rather than the new trilogy.

Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.

Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.

The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.

Nope; it's likely true. A TIE Fighter pilot used its exhaust to suck up all the smoke from Vader's funeral pyre, and cloned him. Although, his name's Darth Vadar in this film.

And Darth Vadar wishes to travel back in time to save the Empire, forcing the future Han Solo (played by Ford) to travel back in time to stop him. Vadar kills Chewbacca and past Leia (played by Fisher using Tron Legacy style de-aging CGI), altering the time line. Of slight note, before she is killed the viewer will note that Leia has her hair done so that it appears she has buns (like from A New Hope), but now they are on top of her head instead of on the side as to resemble mouse ears. Future Han becomes stranded on Dagobah somehow where he meets Luke (played by Hamilton using CGI de-aging) and tells him how his present day self (also played by Ford using CGI de-aging) is effected by the death of Chewie and Leia and is not thinking clearly. Jar Jar joins the team as Chewie's replacement. Luke confronts Vadar and kills him in an epic "lens flare" battle with lightsabers, but Vadar's meddling is enough to allow the Empire to win the Battle of Endor. Thus Luke, Jar Jar, Han, future Han, C-3PO and R2-D2 barely make it and go into hiding with the few rebel survivors to plan their next move in a galaxy far, far away known as the Alpha Quadrant where they come across a mysterious ship known as the Enterprise. Cue credits.

Does anyone remember SuperShadow and his "leaked plots" for Episodes 2 and 3? I remember he also had a leaked plot for Ep7 involving a Skywalker-cult who were following Luke around. They had recovered Luke's severed hand from Bespin and were worshipping it like a god. Also, there were a bunch of commandos in Vader-inspired armor who kept harassing the heroes.

Not Darth Vaader, or Darth Vadeer, or Daarth Vader?

Will he be portrayed by James Earl Jones in costume and Hayden Christensen in voice?

Don't forget that C-3PO in this new timeline will be romancing Asajj Ventress - who is no longer white-skinned or bald or a Sith.

I remember how seriously some folks took that stuff too! Are you trying to say SuperShadow became so obsessed with being proven right that he became a janitor at Disneyland just to rise through the ranks to become CEO so that he could buy Star Wars? Because that'd be a much more interesting story than whatever drivel JJ Abrams ends up putting out.

Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.

The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.

Han and Leia make brief cameo appearances to offer advice or be seen with Allanah Solo who as a pre-teen would be dependent on them - and we'd get short glimpses of the Millennium Falcon.

All this for fanboys and continuity.

Luke (Mark Hamill) will be in the movie a bit more. Perhaps even with a beard for that Obi-Wan Kenobi (Alec Guiness) feel for the character. He will be training his around 20 year old son, Ben Skywalker, who has become a hot-head and troubled by the death of his mother (Mara Jade will NOT be in the movie unless they use holograms of her from R2-D2 or something).

Anyway, the hot-head son will need to come of age and part of it will be a journey to the dangerous Imperial Remnant, now partly dominated by his estranged cousin, the Empress (or Princess) Jaina Fel.

She will join Ben on whatever his quest is, and teach him a more agressive way to use the Force, differing from the training of his father.

Luke will need Han Solo and Princess Leia once more to temper their estranged daughter, and reel in the rash Ben Skywalker.

Allanah Solo will observe these goings-on and it will start to make an impression on her.

It would seem the Disney-owned Lucasfilm is going forward with the continuity because the new Legacy comics series that will begin, following Cade Skywalker's defeat of Darth Krayyt, will focus on Ania Solo - Han and Leia's great-great-grand-daughter I think:
